@TooOld4School I plan on staying in the states, so it’s good to hear that they’re both well known here.
@billcsho Beachfront dorm room… count me in! But yes, during my visit to Purdue they ingrained in me the fact that most, if not all, engineering students are able to find internships/co-ops if they choose to pursue these opportunities. And yes, I am DEFINITELY aware of the weed-out system in place there. A little scared, but I think and hope (fingers crossed) that I can get through freshman year. Another reason why I am considering Cal.
@gmfreedom Coming from a high school in which Asians make up 55% of the student body and White Americans 33%, I would love to experience something different like Purdue. The racial and cultural difference appeals to me very much. I wouldn’t mind sharing a room with more people; I guess I am ambivalent about that. Thanks for the input!
